To all whom it concern I Beit known that I, (inonen E. DIXON, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usep 5 ful Improvements in Water-Heating Attachments; and -I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being hadto the accompanying drawings, which form part of this .10 specification.

My vention relates to water-heating attachmentsfor fiuesor other heated areas, and

has for its salient ob'ect to'provide a simle, readily-attachab e, and durable waterfluesor iping used in conducting heat from stoves, .t ilmaces, or the like. v

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an end elevation w th parts broken away of a waterzo-heater-embodyin my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation wi parts broken away. Fig.

. 3 illustrates the application of my improved heater to a furnace-flue. 4 illustrates its application to a.stoveflue. I

In the drawings, 5 indicates a heater-shell, of nietal or other heat-conducting material, preferably of substantially; uniform thickposed to inclose a chamber of stellate form, 'uniformin cross-section and symmetrical with res t to a longitudinal or atransverse axis. referably the radially innermost portions 6 of the .body are disposed'like' mental portions of a cylinder of suitable ameter, said segmental portions 6 being separated by the rib'or point ortions 7, projectmg outward therefrom and extending lengthwise of' the body from end to end thereof. 'These nbs or points 7 preferably have their outer surfacesvs struck on arcs having the longitudinal axisof the as a center, so

faces 9, so thatthe re 1s expoM by the body 5 a very large The chamber 10 into the hollow portions 11 of the ribs 7 and length. l

At its ends the chamber inaybeclosed byremovable plugs 12 ,'pref erably screw-threaded 'rangerfient of alternative apertures my deeater adapted for employment with ordinary out except at its end openings ness throughout its entire length, and dis-.

By this ar- 5 vice is adapted for use either in a horizontal or a vertical position and :with largeor small In Fig. 3 l 'liave illustrated my heater as applied to the horizontall -disposed portion an outtake-flue of the ace, A mdicating the furnace, and B the flue thereof. The

' body 5 is preferably made of such size that it fits snugl .within the flue B,- and the heat in the flue I eing usually intense, so that relatively large quantities of water maybe heated thereby, the water-piping is connected to the largeopenings 13 13 at the o posite end of the heater. Specifically, C in 'cates the watar-pipe, tapped at o posite ends into the openings 13. When t us used, the lugs 15? 15 are applied to close the chamber t ough-- It be apparent that the hot gas of the furnace es capes through the spaces between the ribs 7 andin its ma imparts heat. to the large. surface offered by the heater, the heat bemg transmitted through the metal shell to the water within the heater.
